One Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta

10/17/16

This One Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta is loaded with flavor and makes the perfect easy 30 minute weeknight meal. Best of all, everything cooks in just one pan making clean up a breeze!

Do you have picky eaters in your house? It seems like the older they get, my kiddos have more to complain about when it comes to meal time. This is totally catching my husband and I off guard, especially with my son since he used to be the best eater when he was younger.

Seriously, he could out eat almost anyone he met and absolutely loved anything you put on his plate. And now? Totally a struggle to get him to try anything new.

Luckily, pasta is one of those dishes that he can have all the time. And since today is National Pasta Day, I brought this One Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta along to celebrate.

I am a huge fan of sun-dried tomatoes and combined those with more yummy tomatoes, red peppers, mushrooms, garlic, fresh basil and Italian seasonings….so much goodness in every bite.

The flavors remind of summer and Italy when we visited a few years ago. Tender chicken gets browned to perfection. The veggies get a happy stir in the same pan and even the pasta gets cooked to creamy al dente deliciousness.

It’s simple, filling and delicious.

The best part? It all comes together in under 30 minutes in just one pot. Making it perfect for busy weeknights because who doesn’t love having less dishes to clean?

Season chicken with salt, pepper, and dried oregano and add to a large greased skillet/pan over medium heat. Saute until browned and cooked through (about 4-6 minutes).Transfer to a plate.

Return the pan back to the heat and add a little bit of olive oil.

Add garlic, mushrooms and sundried tomatoes and saute over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant. Add red peppers and cherry/diced tomatoes and saute for another 2 minutes. Add pasta and broth and turn up the heat to bring to a boil. Lower the heat back to medium, cover with the lid and cook for about 8-11 minutes (stirring pasta half way and add in more broth as needed if pasta is sticking or seems dry) until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has absorbed.

My kids are the same way. When they were younger, they were such good eaters and would eat almost anything! And now all of a sudden they’re picky and I have no idea where it came from. They would love this one though!

Do picky husbands count? 🙂 My husband isn’t too bad, but he can be picky at times. This is one dish that I know he would love, though. Love the flavors and the fact that it’s made in just one pot! My kind of meal!

Stop making me hungry and my mouth water, Kelly!! Seriously…this looks delicious. I always love any kind of pasta but this is the kind I always welcome with a little of everything I like to eat. I used to be a picky eater and my son has been pretty picky since he started solid foods! When he was a baby, he’d eat everything but once he got a taste of real foods, things changed. However, I find that as they get older, they become more open-minded…it just takes a really long time!

Kelly, this One Pot Tuscan Chicken Pasta is calling my name!! I am a huge fan of sun-dried tomato, mushroom and garlic. These ingredients are perfect together. And it’s awesome that this pasta is ready in 30 minutes. For sure, it’s a perfect weeknight meal 😉

I am beginning to see the picky eater in little baby elliott. There are some veggies he would NOT eat and I am trying to force him now. He does love pasta so I should add this beautiful one to our roll.

Wow….this is fantastic! I did have to make a couple changes…one for preference, 2 due to necessity. Didn’t use sun-dried tomatoes (not a fan), subbed leftover rotisserie chicken for breast and subbed spinach noodles for linguine. i would definitely make again! It’s a winner!
